'I wasn't aware that Morrissey had 'come out' as Elton John. Or gay, for that matter.
As anyone who's been paying attention since the early 80s can tell you, if they have their teeth in, Morrissey was never 'in'. His lyrics and his album sleeves and his sensibility were, from the very beginning, outrageously, molestingly direct. Much more so, arguably, than if he had announced he was gay on John Craven's Newsround.'

If you read on, Mark writes "It’s a heroic refusal that, as far as I’m aware, he continues to make." Let's hope this post doesn't bring out the homophobes.

He's neither in or out. He just is. Leave it alone.
Maybe if people stopped obessing about it Morrissey will let us know at his own convience.
I don't care either way.
If he's straight..cool I can indulge my fantasy of marrying him..
If he's gay cool..no other woman can have it.
It works for me either way.

I doubt we'll ever get the definitive word, so long may the debate continue, and long may every sex and sexuality continue to fancy the low slung pants off him.
On a less relevant note I suspect Mark Simpson has been hanging around with one of my gay male friends, for whom the phrase 'a big gayer' is a favourite. Well, it makes me smile.

Both are a Morrissey fan versions of the flat earth society. More importantly, if you don't think that understanding a person's sexuality is important in understanding the person in general, then you might need to go take an introductory Pyschology course. It reminds of when feminists tried to claim that gender is formed solely by the environment.
Moz has been hinting at his homosexuality since the band formed. It's blindingly obvious.
The whole "I'm bisexual" stance is usually the last stage that a homosexual goes through when accepting that they are homosexual. Besides, just because someone refuses to claim the title of "homosexual" doesn't mean that they're denying their devotion to it. In Morrissey's case, he's likely denying any label period, for the sake of his mythological persona.

direct? (Score:1)
Morrissey has always been the very opposite of direct- not juste about his sexuality, but on all manner of subjects save perhaps vegetarianism and animal rights. he has always been, quite consciously, ambiguous, vague, misleading and coy in his art.
now, of course, it should be plain for anyone to see that Morrissey is not the straightest of arrows, but to suggest that this is made direct or clear in his art, while posing as some kind of an aficionado no less, is rather to make clear that you understand very little.

thoughts regarding Mark Simpson (Score:1)
Mark Simpson's writing style is hostile, aggressive, confrontational, inflammatory, and acerbic.
He made headlines years ago for coining the term "metrosexual." Mark needs to focus on other matters rather than killing everyone with the gay issue. It is 2007, and most average, everyday types could care less about sexual prefixes.
